At CHS we want to do all we can to help you make the right academic choices for the next stage in your educational journey. One way we can help you do this is to provide time for you to consider all the exciting opportunities awaiting for you at CHS. This is why each department has produced a video to explain to you the courses we offer at CHS and why you should consider studying them at an advanced level.
Please enjoy watching these videos and reading about all the options available to you in preparation for our Open Evening so that you can make the most of the event.
We look forward to meeting you all on Wednesday 4 November at 6.00pm where we will tell you more about what makes CHS Sixth Form so special. The event will showcase everything we do both within and outside the classroom, including academic enrichment, new co-curricular and leadership opportunities plus our varied careers programme and how we prepare Sixth Form students for their next step beyond CHS.
You will also have the opportunity to hear from current Sixth Form students, members of the Sixth Form team, Old Waconians and the Head. If you would like to submit a question to be answered at the event by one of the presenters, please email your question to er@chschool.co.uk.
Mr Michael Jones
Assistant Head Sixth Form
Lifein our Sixth Form is a unique experience. It is friendly, fun, supportive and full of opportunity.
We could tell you so much about life in Cheadle Hulme's Sixth Form, but then thought, who better to tell you than the Class of 2020?
Please come and meet some of our current Year 12 students on 4 November 6.00pm.
Our experience in recent years suggests that in order to be comfortable with the academic pace of A Level / Pre-U study at CHS students require an attainment level equivalent to 56 points (from 9 subjects) in their GCSE / IGCSE exams. Subjects graded 9-1 are allocated points equal to the number grade awarded. We use this as a guide to suitability, not an immovable requirement.
In addition to the point score, key factors in determining likely success in the Sixth Form are a student’s proven commitment to academic study and Sixth Form subject choices which build on the their academic strengths. Specific advice about the level of GCSE performance recommended by each department can be found on the department page on this Site. It is advisable to check each subject carefully as some do specify a 9-7 grade as a minimum. We understand initial subject choices are provisional and we are very happy to offer advice regarding subject combinations. We try very hard to accommodate all subject combinations.
